How this workshop works
- Sign up online, over the phone or by visiting the studio.
- Day of: Dress for Mess! We recommend wearing clothes you can get muddy in. Something you might wear while gardening!
- Show up 5-15 minutes early. We promise we're friendly, there's lots to see in our studio PLUS sometimes there are dogs here!
- The teacher will demonstrate slab building and give you an overview as to how it works. They can be hands on as you create your piece. Any questions? Just ask!
- Cleanup is a shared activity. Everyone lends a hand and is responsible for cleaning their space.
- Dangly bracelets can maybe get in your way and so might rings.
- DRESS FOR MESS! Or bring a change of clothes.
- We always have aprons on hand!
Pick Up
There's a saying "nothing like pottery to teach you patience". We first bisque fire your pieces, then once cooled we glaze and refire. Pieces usually take 2-3 weeks. We email everyone when the pieces are ready for pick up. We fire according to size and best fit in the kiln.

Because we all want to create, but stay safe at the same time we have some new guidelines in place:
1) Tools can no longer be shared. You will be given a set of cleaned tools to work with at the beginning of the class. If you would like to bring extra items to create texture with please do!
2) Dress for the mess! We can't provide aprons. If you would like to keep your clothes as clean as possible please bring a towel or apron with you, Extra points if it says "Kiss the Cook".
3) To maintain physical distance guidelines we've rearranged our classroom so everyone can create and be safe. You will each have your own station and please don't share tools with students outside of your household. Even if you tell them to go long!
4) The clay is yours! Please be selfish and keep your clay to yourself! For once sharing is NOT CARING.
5) Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in contact with someone with Covid-19. We'll arrange for an alternate experience as a makeup for you.
6) Per sec.22 masks must be worn. We also have sanitized face shields available for all students who wish to have one.
We only allow up to 8 students in a class, so they fill up fast! At this time we cannot accommodate any extra students as we have done in the past.
